Hi Al, I can't see the images for some reason, even when I've copied this link on different browsers. I've got some many things blocked, though, for security reasons, but even on my least secure browser, I can't see this. Is it possible to post these in such a way that I don't have to sign into Google to see them?

They are both Alto (aka Treble) recorders with Baroque fingering.The Moeck looks to be in Maple. The Mollenhauer is probably Pearwood or Cherry.

Both are models no longer produced by the makers.

The Moeck model looks be like their School or something like their current Flauto Rondo model (beginner to intermediate) and the Mollenhauer model looks to be similar to their current Canta model. I think they had a Chorus model?Both of these are cheaper (but not inexpensive) beginner-intermediate recorders priced in ranges between $100-250USD brand new.

Yours look to be both in excellent condition (more detailed photos of their mouthpieces from all angles are needed, as well as their windways and their thumbholes. Damage/wear to these areas affect play and their resale value. Search on eBay for similar recorders and their final selling prices will give you an idea of what to shoot for:

The Mollenhauer does look like a Chorus; I own a soprano like that, but with dark varnish. It is very likely pearwood because I don't believe Mollenhauer makes the student models in the more expensive woods, at least, I'd never seen them.

From what I've seen on eBay, an alto Chorus might get you about between $50 to $75. That's the range I've seen it. You have some wear on the mouthpiece, so that may or may not lower the price, but the rest of the instrument looks in very good condition.

The Moeck Tuju altos I've seen have sold for about $100, mostly a little over. Yours is actually in really good condition from what I can see, and I don't often see US listings for this instrument, so you might have good luck with that one. I'd be tempted to buy it if I didn't already have a number of good alto recorders, and am saving up for a Mollenhauer Dream in plum wood (which I hope will be this year's Christmas present).

You will want to check to make sure the cork on the joints are still good, and not dried out and crumbling; treat them with recorder grease if they need it. It doesn't look like they were played very often, but mine don't really, either, because I've taken good care of them. I've noticed some of these vintage recorders have held up pretty well, and it could be a mark of workmanship. I have purchased a few vintage ones, and those that haven't been used have held up well, as long as they've been stored away from light, heat and damp.

I thought the Moeck's brass ferrules looked too beveled and narrow to be a Tuju, plus the mouthpiece/beak I thought looked a little too streamlined for a Tuju.

But it probably is an older Tuju if folks here are in agreement.
